I'm being charged £72.50 incl VAT for the 84 21 2 199 392 media iPhone 4 adapter. And they say they can get it no problem. I'm asking them to double check, as it seems too cheap

I've complained to BMW UK to see if they will pay for it or at least part, as I'll have paid for £400 of options which will only at least partially work for a few months as my car comes the week after next. This becuase they are now advertising the 6NR option in the latest brochure and the 'amazing integration' with iPhone 3GS/4.

Did your dealer say they could order you one now so you can get one as soon as available? Suppose it will give us something else to look forward too after a few months once the new car honeymoon has started to fade? Last edited by 335dxd; 03-16-2011 at 07:10 AM.. |

It's in their diary to check and order in June. They can't actually place it on back order.

3GS adapter
Yes there are adapters available for the iPhone 3GS. If your car was build after october 2010, then make sure you get the "media" adapter. This is the one that works on the newer cars.
I got one and it works great. John |

Which I think brings its own set of problems. I'm presuming iPhone 4 adapter still not available? In which case I guess I'll just connect with the white Apple lead. What functionality will I miss out on compared to what I've ordered? Thanks in advance. |

What you will lose by using the apple cable is: Apple Plugin media play - i.e. video to iDrive Antenna use via inductive coupling I'm finding the BMW Connected app works fine for me via an Apple USB cable, as does album art, etc.

iPhone or iPod sure does, iPad doesn't as you'd expect.

All very interesting.
However, I have been informed by BMW customer services that because my car has come with a '6VC Combox Controller' I cannot install a media cradle for any Apple telephone. Customer services have informed me that the Combox Controler will not speak to the Apple! |

I had mine for about a month. It works as advertised. It does got hot; hence, the reason for the microfan.
That 'll keep her cool for sure. D^oh! |

I was talking to a dealer tech this week that suggested the media cradle will work in any car fitted with the combox controller but obviously its use is limited if you've not got the 6NR option. he advised that if you've not got 6NR you may as well buy the cheaper non-media cradle.
he was very sceptical about rumours that 6NR could be retrofitted easily, he said the software could be done but he said cars fitted with 6NR have additional "FASBus"? cabling between the cradle and the i-drive unit to allow it to carry ipod out signals. He said cars without 6NR (even combox cars) don't have that cabling. If all this is true the retrofit would need to include this cabling it seems, tech guy didn't seem to think that would be that easy a job and could be prohibitively expensive. is there anyone on here that has the media cradle fitted to a car without 6NR? does it do anything useful other than charge the phone and allow you to use the roof antenna/shark fin? is it only 6NR that gives the iPod style interface on the i-drive screen??? or will the media cradle do that for cars without 6NR? |
